We have an aging population and unfunded liabilities(health care,pensions) and we don't have the money to pay for them.

We are not an island.Depending on what happens,things could change over night. What seems to be a fairly stable economy here in Canada could change in a heart beat. The debt crisis in the US,they could default in four days.They are our largest trading partner and they are in trouble. As the US economy is slowing lawmakers can't seem to come to an agreement on the debt ceiling.
